Would you like to know what has changed in the extension? Below you'll find an overview of the new features and changes made in the updates.
Version 21.2.1.1
as of Business Central 21 2024/09/13
Modifications
The functionality for employee payments has been removed from NCP Payment Exports.
When creating a payment file, only the part of the direct debit mandate ID that is before the underscore (“_”) is now exported. This additional functionality allows the same direct debit mandate ID to be used for multiple customers.
Corrections
The journal line check in the payment suggestions has been revised. Now, all journals are automatically checked, and already suggested or balanced entries are listed in an overview. The option Check Other Journal Batches has been removed.
The document type in the payment suggestion list was not translated into the respective user language for lines of a overpayment.
In the payment suggestion list, the incorrect amount was printed in case of overpayment.
Version 21.2.1.0
as of Business Central 21 2024/08/22
New Product Name

Improvements
Redesign of the menu structure in the payment journal pages and cash receipt journal pages.
Modifications
If a value was entered in the Creditor/Customer Entry in the Recipient Bank Account field, it was previously ignored in the payment suggestion. The logic of bank account determination in the payment suggestion has now been revised: If a value is present in the Recipient Bank Account field, it will be used. Additionally, the bank account determination for debtor entries has been expanded to consider a direct debit mandate ID selected in the documents, which overrides everything else. If neither applies, the bank account will be searched based on the External Bank Account Search option in the NCPE Payments Export Setup.
Removal of obsolete code parts.
User experience improvements.
Corrections
After creating a payment file, before the NCPE Payment File - Summary page was opened, a message with an additional placeholder appeared.

Version 21.2.0.3
as of Business Central 21 2024/07/23
Corrections
During the installation of NCP Payment Base, an entry was mistakenly created in the license management. This error has been fixed, and an update routine has been created to delete the entry.

Modifications
The customer and vendor bank account cards have been revised so that the fields IBAN and SWIFT Code are no longer displayed as mandatory.

Corrections

Improvements
Preparation for integration of konfipay Connector
Change in the payment method field in the ledger entries. Now only the available payment methods are displayed in the respective ledger entry.
The download of bank codes has been improved. Previously, it was necessary to maintain the URLs for downloading the bank codes before the download could be initiated.
This has been simplified by automatically starting the download as soon as the bank code download is triggered.
The download of bank codes now occurs in JSON format to improve download performance.
New option "Summary after creation" added to the NCPE setup.
For more information, see Setup, Exports, Exports Setup.
For creditor/customer bank accounts, the SWIFT code field has been expanded with a lookup to the SWIFT Codes table.
New option "Yes - Structured" added to recipient address in the XML schemas. This is required to comply with the new specification of the SEPA schemas implementing the ISO20022 standard.
Functionality to display the payment file in the clearing entries added.
The customer payment suggestion in the payment journal page has been renamed to Customer Direct Debit suggestion.
The payment file status field in the ledger entry lines is no longer displayed in bold and red as it caused confusion, if a line needs to be checked, it is now displayed in yellow.
Corrections

Some tooltips have been corrected.
Filters have been applied to the debtor payment suggestion for creditor entries.
Revision of the update or display of the payment status in the payment ledger entries.
There was an error during posting or preview posting in the Cash Receipt Journals when a Refund was present in the lines.
Version 21.1.7.2
as of Business Central 21 2024/04/11
Modifications
Download URLs for the Bank Codes have been updated.
Corrections
In the payment and cash receipt journals, the field Payment File Status showed Check if no SWIFT Code was specified on the customer/vendor bank account, even though the XML schema used, which was specified on the bank account, had Dom. IBAN Only enabled.
In the SEPA region, specifying the SWIFT Code is generally not necessary.
Version 21.1.7.1
as of Business Central 21 2024/02/19
Note

as of Business Central 21 2024/02/12
Important
For On-Premises an update of the License or the following granules is required:
1001710 NCPE Payments Export by NAVAX
Improvements
The logic behind the Payment File Status field has been improved in the Gen. Journal Line table. The settings and parameters of the bank account are now also taken into account.
On the pages Payment Journal and Cash Receipt Journals the info box Payment File Error has been added. This info box shows the errors per journal line that would prevent the payment file from being exported.
In the NCPE Payments XML Schemas the Extended Character Sets have been extended for all XML schemas, the characters äüöÄÜÖß have been added since most banks accept these characters in the payment files.
In NCPE Suggest Vendor Payments and NCPE Suggest Customer Payments, the options Consider Payment Discount Tolerance have been added. Previously, the value of the Pmt. Discount Date field from the entry was taken into account.
For more information, see Tasks, Exports, Make Payment Suggestions.
New option Without Reductions added to the reports NCPE Suggest Vendor Payments and NCPE Suggest Customer Payments. The indicator is used to ensure that entries that would reduce the amount (credit memos, reductions) are not included in the payment suggestion.
For more information, see Tasks, Exports, Make Payment Suggestions.
Modifications
Calling up the pages Bank Account Setup and Pay with QR-Code from the role center has been changed. Previously, the pages were opened in view mode, so editing had to be activated on the pages before settings or changes could be applied.
In the payment suggestions, refunds were suggested although the option Summarize per Vendor/Customer was activated, so an error occurred when creating the payment file.
After calculating the payment suggestion, vendors/customers which had a credit balance in total (e.g. an invoice has already been posted but not yet due in this payment suggestion) were incorrectly included in the suggestion and written as refunds in the journal, which blocked the creation of a payment file.
In the NCPE Payments Export Setup an incorrect report was specified as Pmt. Notification Report ID, this has been corrected and an upgrade routine has been created to correct the report ID. The initial value has also been corrected.
Error in the creation of the QR code when the function Pay with QR-Code was activated. If no default bank account was set up for payments with QR code, the process was canceled after selecting the bank account to be used for QR code creation.
Due to the installation of the extension, the totals were not always printed on the A4 documents when using the RDLC report layouts.
If the option Summarize Per Vendor/Customer has been selected in the payment suggestion, the dimensions have not been transferred consistently to the journal lines.
In the assisted setup, the name of the field Creditor Identifier (CI) was previously County.

as of Business Central 21Important Update 2023/08/07
Improvements
It is now possible to block collective transactions at vendor level. If the Collective Transaction Not Allowed option is activated for a vendor, no collective transactions will be created for the vendor in the Payment Journal.
Corrections
Error correction of the collective transactions functionality. In report 70322082 NCPE Create Payment File, the variable AllowCollectiveTransactions could be changed via an event. Setting it to false had an impact on Collective Transactions in conjunction with Payment Reference or One-Time Transfers.
Version 21.1.6.2
as of Business Central 21Important Update 2023/06/26
Corrections
In the report Payment Suggestion List, the payment discount is shown twice because the payment discount tolerance was calculated incorrectly although a payment discount was already granted.
Obsolete events have been revised. The OnUpdateTempPaymentBufferFromCustomerLedgerEntry and OnBeforeUpdateGnlJnlLineDimensionsFromTempPaymentBuffer events in the NCPE Suggest Customer Payments report are available again.
When importing data (SEPA schemes, bank codes), the number of overwritten data records was not displayed correctly.

The import function Initialize SEPA Countries has been redesigned. Previously, there was a query for changes to the NCP SEPA field. This is not necessary as it is a field of the NCP Payments app and can therefore be overwritten.
The value of the field Payment File Status was determined incorrectly when the function Summarize per Customer/Vendor was selected in the payment suggestion.

With this action you can configure the allowed characters which are valid for the purpose in the payment file. This is necessary if your bank allows a different character set than the standard of the SEPA scheme.
A new field Umlaut Conversion has been added to the NCPE Payments XML Schema table. This can be used to control whether or not umlauts should be converted for usage purposes. The conversion converts e.g.: an Ä to an Ae.

Actions in the payment journals were cleaned up.
The captions in the NCPE Initial Setup Wizard were not translated into German.

Version 21.1.5.0
as of Business Central 21 2023/03/27
Improvements
The Check Other Journal Batches option has been added to the payment suggestions. If this option is enabled, entries that are already in other journals will not be taken into account and will be skipped. This prevents the journal lines from being edited more than once.
Payment and cash receipt journals have been improved. It is now easier to see if journal lines are ready to be exported to a payment file or if values are still missing. With the newly added Payment File Status field, you can see at first glance whether a line is ready for payment file export. If one or more errors occur in the line, an overview with the errors can be opened using DrillDown.
The Preferred Bank Account Code field on Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable is now filled with the bank account that is marked as Main Bank Account. If you change the value for Preferred Bank Account Code, the Main Bank Account flag on the bank account will be automatically adjusted.
When creating a purchase document, the Preferred Bank Account Code field will be prefilled if a bank account code has been specified on the vendor. The bank account that is stored on the purchase document will then be taken into account in the payment suggestion and written in the journal line.
The External Bank Account Code field has been removed from the accounts payable, accounts receivable and journal. entries. Instead of the External Bank Account Code, the Recipient Bank Account field from standard is now used. An upgrade routine to convert to the new field is run during installation to prevent data loss.
The field Mandat ID was removed from the journal lines because there is the field Direct Debit Mandate ID in the standard and this can also be used. An upgrade routine has also been created to upgrade the field during installation.
